Conflicts between lawyers and their clients arise in a wide range of circumstances, not only in traditional conflicts analysis. Transactional lawyers may have an opportunity to join in a lucrative business venture of a client. Litigators may have differences of opinion with a client about how or when to settle a case. Estate planners may be offered gifts in the form a bequest from a client. Any of them may sit on a board of directors of a profit-making or a nonprofit organization which puts the lawyer in the uncomfortable position of conflicting loyalties or soliciting funds, respectively. In these and many other ways, conflicts arise between lawyers and their clients, potentially causing ethical violation and liability. This program will provide you with a practical guide to how ethics rules apply in a wide range of circumstances in which lawyers have conflicts with their clients.
